MAD SCIENTIST NOMINATED FOR 2 RONDO AWARDS!

Feb. 18, 2009.  Mad Scientist has been nominated in the Best Magazine and Best Cover (for issue 18, by Don Marquez) categories in the seventh annual Rondo Awards.  The Rondo Awards, named after actor Rondo Hatton, celebrate the genres of horror, science fiction, and fantasy. This is a huge honor and a thrill for me! 

Welcome to the homepage of Mad ScientistMad Scientist is a print fanzine that focuses on science fiction, horror, and monsters in various media, whether they be film, comics, games, books, whatever.  Mad Scientist isn’t a news magazine.  Rather, it is a collection of well-researched articles, as well as personal opinions and recollections.  Expect to see lots of reviews, art, top 10 lists, comic strips, and analysis on topics ranging from specific costumes from Toho kaiju films to the (mis)representation of science in film.  From this site, you can peruse samples from past issues as well as keep up to date on the latest release.  And now, you can even order Mad Scientist through this site via PayPal!  So come on in and have a look around…
